The songs on the Promo MMX A.S. had a better production (or lack thereof). I think the albums' flaw is the over spacious sound making the punch go wander around instead of hitting the mark directly, of course I could be wrong. Their cover of the Necrovore song was definitely the most savage rendition/version I've heard.

Yea, it was probably an unfair expectation dropped on these guys, as soon as the artwork was unleashed everyone wanted an album that no band ever in the universe would be able to deliver.

The album though, no better or worse than anything else of the particular niche of genre they dwell in. The album is decent. It crushes, it is suffocating bla bla bla ...all the same terms that applies to all bands working in that murky cavernous spectrum of recording.

If a band wants to excel past boundries and be truly spectacular, become Ghost! ...or Watain.

I think it's better than most in the style! Most of these bands bore me, but Wrathprayer's album gets a lot of listens from me!

The album is good, very good. The problem is the hype and expectations surrounding it, could do nothing but disappoint. People were expecting Drawing Down The Moon part. deux it seems. Which it's simply not!
Similarly to Cultes Des Ghoules, another very good band that gets Watain-like "hype" around here.

On it's own, ignoring hype/expectation/etc, it is a very solid 8/10 album. Definitely not bad or even "average".

I think the overhype for this album is starting to get overhyped. Its a very good album for its specific genre. Its not overrated, nor underrated imo. Most albums these days are nothing groundbreaking anyway. However, that dosen't mean they are bad albums either. We seem to expect too much out of black/death these days, and I don't see why. What more do you want? As for Sun of Moloch, I don't hear anything that should be complained about. Artwork/track titles/imagery aside, It delivers what it should deliver._________________"Beating up wife and children.....well at least a little bit more evil than ex-bandcomrade Blackmoon who only GOT beaten up by an elk."

It’s a fucking incredible album in all aspects. Fuck off with the whole “put things into context” mentality. For me it was one of the very best of last year. Who gives a shit about what albums it could be compared to? This kind of music is above all else about a feeling, or rather essence, that one can either understand or not.
